As a Detroit Native, growing up 5 minutes from downtown during the era the People Mover was born I’ve been saying why does it just revolve around downtown instead of other places in the city like any other railway system in any other major city🤔!! And this was 38 years ago go figure. 🖤 my city to the moon and back FRFR!!

The Detroit People Mover has a sister system that uses the same technology in Vancouver Canada. The system started small too but consistently expanded and in 2023 became North America's 4th busiest rapid transit system after New York's MTA, Toronto's TTC and Montreal's STM.

I think they're over thinking it. Just do an expansion. Gratiot Ave, Grand River, Michigan Ave!

The moneymakers of the auto industry never wanted a thriving public transit system. That's why Detroit has worked to keep the people in vehicles: it's big money and the backbone of many, many industries.

"The people mover has to at least be expanded West to : Corktown, Wayne State University, West Grand Blvd/Hitsville ("Motown Museum")". "And expanded East to DMC ("Hospital Area"), Eastern Market, the Cultural center, Up Jefferson Ave ("at least to Chene Park") & to the Detroit City Airport once completed ".

Start making it like New York and Chicago Subways if not underground above ground and even though the freeways in the middle of the freeways above ground

Wow! Finally starting to complete the initial plans for the PM that Oakland County kiboshed in the 80’s. Connecting Detroit to AnnArbor makes even more sense.

“Have you ever RIDDEN…” come on now

Good job, Mr. Cramer!

When i stayed in EDCOUCH TEXAS...

Why not expand the People mover to go through out Detroit into the suburbs both Ferndale

I ❤

Double Track/Expand/New Trains. Not that hard.

The plan to keep people from behind the wheel after a night out is always a great idea. Of course, the auto industry may have a say in this development only going so far, but even expanding to Midtown is a start.

also it should be double tracked one day

Expansion is necessary if they want genuine ridership growth

Go Detroit!

For Detroiters, the People Mover is an unnecessary Joke. You might as well walk since Detroit has a little downtown. It's great for tourists and sports events only.

Its more like a roller coaster than a people mover

Decades ago, the auto industry hobbled Detroit, constantly lobbying against mass transit. And suburbanites supported the anti mass transit sentiments. So the ridiculous people mover was adopted. What has changed?
